This tutorial is devoted to the notion of max-min fairness (MMF), associated optimization
problems, and their applications to multi-commodity flow networks. We first introduce a …

Optimization models related to designing and operating complex systems are mainly
focused on some efficiency metrics such as response time, queue length, throughput, and …

We present SWAN, a system that boosts the utilization of inter-datacenter networks by
centrally controlling when and how much traffic each service sends and frequently re …

Buoyed by advances in space technology, several firms are planning satellite constellations
to offer broadband Internet service. While these developments are happening quickly, there …

The goal of data center network is to interconnect the massive number of data center
servers, and provide efficient and fault-tolerant routing service to upper-layer applications …

Rack-scale computers, comprising a large number of micro-servers connected by a direct-
connect topology, are expected to replace servers as the building block in data centers. We …

Cloud based applications and services require high performance and strong reliability
provided by data center networks. To overcome the problem of traditional tree based data …

In this paper, we provide a study of Max–Min Fair (MMF) multi-commodity flows and focus on
some of their applications to multi-commodity networks. We first present the theoretical …

This paper introduces a dual-based algorithm framework for solving the regularized online
resource allocation problems, which have potentially nonconcave cumulative rewards, hard …

Decoupling of control and data plane in Software Define Networks (SDN) creates significant
flexibility in network management. As networks are evolving into a complex multi-domain …
